LISA EVICTED FROM BIG BROTHER HOUSE
Sep/090
Lisa has become the latest housemate to be evicted from Big Brother.
All the housemates – Siavash, Sophie, Rodrigo, David and Charlie – were up for eviction.
Unemployed Lisa, 41, from Birmingham, was last night the 13th contestant to be evicted.
Lisa smiled and hugged fellow housemates when presenter Davina McCall broke the news.
Clutching her tobacco, she was greeted by loud boos from the waiting crowds as she left the house, but stopped to shake hands and wave at her fans.
She told McCall she was not upset to be missing out on Friday’s final. “I know it’s going to be buzzing and that but I feel like I’m lucky to get through to this week,” she said.
She added: “I thought I would be out two weeks after I went in. You never know when you’re in there what’s going to happen, the mood changes all the time.”
She also said she didn’t enjoy watching herself on television when Big Brother played the housemates an early episode from the series for a shopping task. “I thought, ’God, I sound really common’,” she said.
She added she thought she looked like the Austin Powers character Mini-Me when she was sitting in the diary room chair.
Earlier in the day Charlie and Rodrigo came to blows when Rodrigo offered his nemesis a mouthful of crisps.
Charlie said: “I’m not a crispy person, I wish people would remember that. Some people are and I’m not. I’m anything but a crispy person.”
McCALL WEPT OVER BIG BROTHER’S DEMISE
Sep/090
Big Brother presenter Davina McCall told today how she cried when she heard Big Brother was to be axed.
It was announced on Wednesday that Channel 4 was dropping the show after next summer’s 11th series.
The move follows months of speculation about the programme’s future following disappointing ratings for the latest series.
McCall said: “This week has been such a shocker. I got a phone call from my producer saying that next year we were going to have the last Celebrity Big Brother, and indeed the last Big Brother.
“Even though I kind of knew it was coming to an end and that it gives Channel 4 an opportunity to try something else, and they’ve had a lot of flak for Big Brother in the past, I think they’ve been very brave to stick with it as long as they did.
“I just felt really sad, I cried for a bit and my husband was being very nice to me all day.
“It was kind of a weird day, I felt like I was grieving the loss of a friend.”
She said that next year would be “silly”.
“I think this is the only way to describe it.
“We’ll definitely go out with a bang. I certainly will be quite naughty, I’m not sure in what way or how but it could involve some shenanigans in the house or something, I want to go in the house really badly.
“Staying the night has been vetoed by my husband because sleeping is the only thing he really gets to see me do on my own.
“I definitely want to go in there at some point. I’m going to just really have a laugh with it and send it out with a proper bang!
“People are saying Big Brother’s over, but it’s a good format so I think it doesn’t necessarily have to be over, it can come back in another guise.”
Marcus was the latest contestant to be evicted from the house last night.
Siavash, who was also nominated, survived the public vote.
Marcus, 35, a carpenter from Brentford, was the 12th contestant to be evicted.
MARCUS EVICTED FROM BIG BROTHER HOUSE
Sep/090
Marcus was the latest contestant to be evicted from the Big Brother house.
Siavash, who was also nominated, survived the public vote.
Marcus, 35, a carpenter from Brentford, looked relieved as presenter Davina McCall announced he would be the 12th contestant to be evicted.
He hugged fellow housemates before leaving the house to a mixture of cheers and boos. As he greeted the crowds fans began to cheer his name.
During an interview with McCall, Marcus said he was glad to leave the house and was not upset not to make it to the final week next week.
When asked why he didn’t walk out if he wanted to leave so much he said: “Because of how many people want to be in the house. You don’t know what it’s like when you’re in there.”
When questioned about his relationship with ex-housemate Noirin, the self-titled Irrepressible Dark Horse said: “I 99.9% knew nothing was going to happen but I was bored so I took the 0.01% chance.”
Earlier yesterday Rodrigo added £6,000 to the prize fund by correctly identifying animal sounds. The prize fund now stands at £6,020 after Big Brother wiped the amount down to zero when housemates staged a breakout.

BB HIGHLIGHTS: BLINK AND YOU’LL MISS ’EM
Aug/090
Big Brother is to be axed from Channel 4 after next summer’s series, the broadcaster announced bringing the show’s ten-year run to an end.
Here are some of the most memorable quotes from housemates over the years.
:: “I love blinking, I do.” – Welsh hairdresser Helen Adams in BB2.
:: “No poof is going to win this.” – Brian Dowling, the gay former flight attendant who went on to prove himself wrong by winning BB2.
:: “W*****s. Ooh, my Tourette’s is in context. I love it when that happens.” – Pete Bennett, winner of BB7.
:: “Am I minging?” – Jade Goody on BB3.
:: “Who is she? Who is she? Where did you get her from? I am not talking to it any more. I can’t even look at it.” – Nikki Grahame venting her fury about housemate Susie on BB7.
:: “It’s not you, it’s me.” – Ziggy Lichman dumps Chanelle Hayes with a cliche during BB8.
:: “Ah, we’re psychopathic.” – Amanda Marchant, who appeared in BB8 with twin sister Sam, and possibly meant to say “telepathic”.
:: “Where’s East Angular though? I thought that was abroad.” – Jade Goody again.
:: “I love learning new word and spelling them. Last week I learn three new words. I learn hilarious – H I L A R I O U S – hilarious.” – Kathreya Kasisopa, from Thailand, shows off her language skills on BB9.
:: “Rio de Janeiro, ain’t that a person?” – another classic Jade Goody moment.
BIG BROTHER BOSSES DITCH £100,000 PRIZE FOR WINNER
Aug/090
The winner of this year’s Big Brother will not get the promised £100,000 prize, it was announced
Contestants in this year’s series – which winds up next week – were told they would no longer receive the cash because they staged a break-out from the house yesterday.
They were informed the prize had now been withdrawn as they gathered on the sofas late last night, with some cheering and clapping.
The prize fund has been reduced incrementally in previous years for rule-breaking but never withdrawn completely.
The contestants had burst out of the house after being told to do something “entertaining” by programme bosses.
Hot-tempered Brazilian student Rodrigo was angered by the announcement the prize had been axed. He marched into the Diary Room to argue they had not broken the rules but simply done as they were told.
However, David Ramsden and Charlie Drummond said they were glad there was no prize fund to compete for any longer.
The contestants were castigated by Big Brother yesterday for being “boring” and were urged to be more entertaining to win a reward. They subsequently broke through a fire exit in the garden and ran amok in the camera runs.
Marcus Akin, Charlie, Sophie Reade, Siavash Sabbaghpour and Rodrigo Lopes screamed as they ran away from security guards.
Shortly afterwards Marcus shouted: “Where’s our reward?”
Charlie prophetically pointed out: “I think we’ll get a punishment actually, not a reward.”
